A PICTURESQUE BOOK OF THE SEA.
A Sailor’s Log.
Recollections of Forty Years of Naval Life. By Rear-Admiral Robley D. Evans, U.S.N. Illustrated. Large 12mo. Cloth, $2.00.
“It is essentially a book for men, young and old; and the man who does not enjoy it is lacking in healthy red blood.”—Chicago Bookseller.
“A profoundly interesting book. There is not a line of bravado in its chapters, nor a carping criticism. It is a book which will increase the esteem and high honor which the American feels and willingly awards our naval heroes.”—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
“It would be difficult to find an autobiography possessing more interest than this narrative of forty years of active naval service. It equals the most fascinating novel for interest; it contains a great deal of material that has a distinct historical value.... Altogether it is a most delightful book.”—Brooklyn Eagle.
“His is a picturesque personality, and he stands the supreme test by being as popular with his officers and men as he is with the public generally. His life has been one of action and adventure since he was a boy, and the record of it which he has prepared in his book ‘A Sailor’s Log’ has not a dull line in it from cover to cover. It is all action, action, and again action from the first page to the last, and makes one want to go and ‘do things’ himself. Any boy between fifteen and nineteen who reads this book and does not want to go to sea must be a sluggish youth.... The book is really an interesting record of an interesting man.”—New York Press.
